Plastic SuperstarsA Poem by KatDarknessSo many people becoming commercialized robots 'cause of the pop-music industry. It's just machines singing - the pretty face is nothing but a living puppet.Bodies on display like mannequins, welcome to this beauty-salon-cemetery, Cremated to layers of gold and bronze, sacred statues for the stupid To bow their immitation-blonde heads, silent worship of This Week's Issue. A chemical-bath of tanning spray, a wash-in of yellow, a streaking of gold, So expensive to buy, yet so easily sold.
"Welcome, clones."
Superstar, commercial word, comnmercial world, Sell you, recreate you, metamorph like an insect, A scrap-metal-butterfly dies on the scrap-heap, your suicide symbol Of what plastic-"people" aspire to be. So-called beauty, open your glazed-blue eyes and see.
The price of fame, a face-full of plastic, The time-line of fame is printed on flimsy, colourful pages, Depicted clearly for every mindless clone, Superstar's slaves; obey or die alone. © 2012 KatDarknessAuthor's Note
